Synopsis

Rabbi Hyman Babushkin has headed and cultivated a progressive religious movement, Encounter Judaism, for half a century — but as he turns 83, he has lost his wife, his prostate, and, perhaps, his faith. The loyalty of some of the key women among his cohort is wavering, his leadership is being challenged, and he is beset by fantasies of fleeing back to the ultra-Orthodox world from which he was excommunicated during the heady 1960s.
 
What’s a guru to do?
 
HYMAN is a novel rich in humor, Jewish thought, and provocative questions about power and sexuality as it vaults back and forth through fifty years of American culture.
Disponible depuis: 27/05/2023.
Longueur d'impression: 180 pages.

    Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich was one of the most privileged and gifted mystics in Church history. Throughout much suffering and sacrifice, she received in holy ecstasies miraculous visions of the lives of Our Lord, Our Lady, and the saints. One of the personages in these visions is, of course, Mary Magdalen, central as she was to much of the Gospel story. She is considered less often than others, yet Blessed Anne Catherine's visions are extremely telling about the significance of this prototype of all penitents, considered by the Church the "apostle to the apostles" (since she announced the Resurrection of Our Lord).  
    Mary Magdalen in the Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich reveals not only the Biblical account of Mary Magdalen's interactions with Our Lord, Lazarus and Mary, and the disciples, but also her early life. Contained in these pages are her fall to sin at the age of 9, her attempts at repentance, and far more than visionary has ever reported of her. Let the visions of the holy mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich guide you to a deep, fruitful relationship with Mary Magdalen, the patron saint of all penitents—and therefore of all of us.

    Organizational behavior is an important and growing field in leadership and management studies, yet it has been largely overlooked by leaders of churches and other Christian ministries. This introduction to the topic accounts for the unique dynamics of Christian organizations, gives theological foundations, and provides key insights and guidance to those studying or practicing leadership in churches and ministries. 
     
     
     
    Markow proposes and explains organizational behavior using a comprehensive "Five-Level Model," which encompasses the 1) individual, 2) interpersonal, 3) group, 4) organizational, and 5) interorganizational perspectives of organizations. Listeners will gain a better understanding of their organization and how people relate to it and to one another. The goal is to help people and organizations thrive and fulfill their God-given missions. Besides utilizing seminal and current sources from the field of organizational studies, Markow draws on interviews with senior-level leaders in churches and nonprofits for fresh and ministry-focused insights. Each chapter includes review questions, case studies, and further reading suggestions, making it a perfect textbook for college or seminary leadership classes. It is also a helpful resource for those in church administration and for all leaders who want to broaden their perspective and improve their practice.

    SPIRIT GUIDES 
    Do you ever feel like you are fighting a losing battle against life, and you are completely alone? These types of feelings can be destructive and damaging. But what if you knew that the universe and the spiritual world have a team of guides ready to help you, guide you through these moments, and protect you from harm? 
    Even if you don't feel particularly spiritual or in sync with the universe, these guides are there, waiting for you to reach out and receive their messages. 
    Maybe you have already been blessed by spiritual messaging. Seemingly normal communications are often sent to give you a nudge in the right direction. For example, have you ever experienced a "coincidence" that turned up at just the right time? 
    Inside this book, we discuss who these members of your spiritual team are, why they are there, how you can begin to communicate with them, and how you can interpret their messages, plus much more!

    The Book of Acts covers about 30 years. Chapters two and three of the Book of Revelation cover the next 2,000.  This study will explore the seven letters by Jesus Christ to actual historical churches and the church ages they represent. These letters describe, with amazing precision, the unfolding of all church history in advance. This chronicle fills the gap between the 69th and 70th Week of Daniel. We will also find many insightful personal applications as we apply each letter to ourselves.  Four Levels of Application:     Local: actual, historic churches with validated needs, and so on. Archeological discoveries have confirmed this.     Admonitory: "Hear what the Spirit says to the churches." Applies to all churches throughout history. Any church can be "mapped" in terms of these seven characteristics.     Homiletic: personal. "He that hath an ear let him hear...." each letter applies to each of us. There is some element of each of the "churches" in everyone of us: perhaps the most important application of the entire book.    Prophetic: These letters describe, with amazing precision, the unfolding of all church history. In any other order, this would not be true.  This chronicle fills the "gap" between the 69th and 70th Week of Daniel. The Book of Acts covers about 30 years, and chapters two and three of the Book of Revelation covers the next 2,000.
